Producing and Sequencing Music
Summer 2014 quarter (Session I)
Taught by
Computers are now the basic sketchpad for creating music. From recording instruments into them to using software instruments that sound like nearly anything, software recording allows extremely complex production. This 5 week program will familiarize members with the use of computer based MIDI soft and hardware, synthesizers, mixers, and cover some of the technical 'mysteries' which are critical to comprehending use. This program is mostly about exploring the musical production process. The only prerequisites are interest in music, some keyboard and/or guitar skill, and curiosity.
The class structure will consist of three separate elements. Lecture/Workshop sessions will cover operation of the systems, demonstrating different techniques in a group setting. This will be the time for reviewing readings, presenting questions and troubleshooting. Students will play back their pieces for feedback, and so others can see how different people compose. Individual studio times will be assigned to each student. These times are for trying the different functions of the software, creating short musical ideas to apply learned skills, and experimenting with new techniques. Members will be expected to spend a minimum of two 4 hour blocks in the studio per week. Consulting times will be scheduled to permit members to meet for individual or small group assistance in the studio. If members are having problems understanding operation, this is the time to get additional help.

Cave des Vignerons de Buxy Cave de Chablis Les Preuses 2005
Chardonnay from Chablis, France
Winemaker's Notes
100% Chardonnay
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "One of the raciest of the vintage. Very fine, this evokes lemon, acacia, mineral and lanolin notes matched to a vibrant structure. Harmonious, with a long finish of lemon cake and chalk dust. Best from 2012 through 2025. 2,000 cases made."
Cave des Vignerons de Buxy Winery
The Cave des Vignerons de Buxy was created due to the determination of the Cote Chalonnaise winegrowers to pool their talents in a common project and make their wine, tend to their vines and sell and market their products together. The story behind this adventure is one of an human and social endeavour stretching back over 75 years. 120 families work the plantings that go to make up these vineyards, perpetuating the techniques of their forefathers. Thanks to the fruit of their labours, the passion for their profession and their deep attachment to the soil, these winegrowers have managed to bring out all the character of their land in their wines.
The growing and harvesting of the grapes is rigorously monitored and controlled. And so the team of specialists using modern grape-growing and wine-making techniques can rely on their perfect knowledge of what is going on in the field to develop authentic wines which capture the taste of the land of the Cote Chalonnaise, Maconnais and Chablis.
The Cave des Vignerons de Buxy is the result of collective enterprise and the work of 120 wine-growers and 40 employees, and sells 6 million bottles per year for a turnover of 23 million euros. Thanks to its local, national and international renown the la Cave des Vignerons de Buxy has become the ambassador for the wines of Burgundy. View all Cave des Vignerons de Buxy Wines
About Chablis
Chablis got a bad rap when its name was plastered on large jug wines in the 1980's and 90's. Luckily, the wine in those jugs has nothing in common with the actual region. Wines produced in Chablis are some of the most unique in the world. Typical descriptors of a classic Chablis include a greenish tinge on the wine, minerality and crisp acidity balanced by a round mouthfeel. Chablis is a perfect match to any fish or shellfish dish.
Notable Facts
The northernmost region of Burgundy, Chablis' location is closer to Champagne than its Burgundian neighbor, Cote d'Or. This northern proximity gives Chablis a cool, continental climate. The soil is a limestone base, and in the best vineyard sites that limestone is covered with Kimmeridgian clay, a material that is very high in marine fossils. The climate, paired with these distinctive soils, makes the area particularly suited for Chardonnay - the almost exclusive white grape of the area.
Those who claim not to like Chardonnay will be pleasantly surprised by the uniqueness of Chablis. The winemakers of the region almost always stick to stainless steel for fermentation, and many use no oak at all. If oak-aged, the wine will only be in large French oak barrels, which give the wines flavors that are a far cry from your typical California Chardonnay.About France - Other regions
When it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

I have a similar problem but with a 30 footer. In my case and likeley in yours the bolts will be stainless steel but the nuts are carbon steel and so rust rather badly. I my case I am going to try to get all 8 nuts of and clean up the threads. then install new SS nuts with a good thread lubricant and torque them. Hoping that will seal up the small leak into the bilge.
If not I will have to drop the keel and recaulk it.

When a person with celiac disease eats or drinks anything containing gluten, the immune system responds by damaging the lining of the intestinal tract. This affects the body's ability to absorb nutrients.Carefully following a gluten-free diet helps prevent symptoms of the disease.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Food Sources To follow a gluten-free diet means, you need to avoid all foods, drinks, and medications made with gluten. This means not eating anything made with barley, rye, and wheat. All items made with all-purpose, white, or wheat flour are prohibited. FOODS YOU CAN EAT Beans Cereals made without wheat or barley malt Corn Fruits and vegetables Meat, poultry, and fish (not breaded or made with regular gravies) Milk-based items Oats (may be okay for some people with celiac disease, but work closely with your doctor or dietitian) Potatoes Rice The gluten-free diet involves removing all foods, drinks, and medications made from gluten. This means not eating anything made with barley, rye, and wheat. All items made with all-purpose, white, or wheat flour are prohibited.Obvious sources of gluten include:Breaded foods Breads, bagels, croissants, buns Cakes, donuts, and pies Cereals (most) Cold cuts, hot dogs, salami, or sausage Crackers and many snacks bought at the store, such as potato chips and tortilla chips Gravy Pancakes and waffles Pasta and pizza Soups (most) Stuffing Less obvious foods that must be eliminated include:Beer Candies (some) Communion breads Croutons Marinades, sauces, soy and teriyaki sauces Salad dressings (some) Self-basting turkey There is a risk of cross-contamination. Items that are naturally gluten-free may become contaminated if they are made on the same production line, or moved together in the same place, as foods containing gluten.Eating at restaurants, work, school, and social gatherings can be challenging. Call ahead and plan. It is important to read labels before buying or eating, due to the widespread use of wheat and barley in foods.Despite its challenges, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is possible with education and planning.

Yeah, Baby!
SoFA's newest stealth club, 'spy,' brings industrial espionage into vogue
By Sarah Quelland
IT'S NOT OUR fault the press release was misleading. No, really it's not. Other local media ran with the same information we did, ultimately confusing everybody. But we're here to set the record straight. As many have heard by now, the USUAL is changing its name to SPY, a hip new club with a cool industrial-espionage theme sure to have the Silicon Valley tech sector sipping martinis like 007. Austin Powers would love this joint!
Now teamed up with new Sweden-based owner and investor JONÄS FREDERICKSON, the Usual's former leaders, mastermind PAUL GERDHART and silent partner DAVID FARLING, remain involved in spy, with Gerhardt overseeing its daily operations. According to Gerhardt, the Usual's last blast takes place this Friday (July 19) with famed San Jose skate-rock relics the FACTION, plus shit-disturbers H.B.A. and upstarts the NEW STRANGE. On Aug. 2, the club officially changes over to spy with KOVERT, a sneaky operation with an invite-only acid-rock fashion show presented by NIGEL WHO?, a living industrial art exhibit coordinated by new partner Frederickson and music by big-time jet-setter DJ DOC MARTIN plus DJs M3, P.J., GREV and CHRIS ARALIUS. With red-carpet festivities running 7 to 9pm, doors open to the public after 9pm. The new club invites everyone to a huge dance party on Aug. 9 to celebrate its official grand opening.
What the release failed to mention is that there's plenty going on at the SoFA venue while it's in transition between July 19 and Aug. 2. All those upcoming concerts and dance nights already scheduled--including the SECURITY, LAVABONE, KRENSHAW and KARATE HIGH SCHOOL show set for Wednesday (July 24)--will go on as planned. Gerhardt tells me the spy's unofficial unveiling is set to take place July 25 with LATENITEBILLY's underground hip-hop night starring SOULS OF MISCHIEF and Triple Threat DJs SHORTKUT, VINROC and APOLLO.
Visually, the slinky new club has been completely transformed with dark walls and a steely décor. It also boasts new and improved sound and lighting, and an elite VIP room. Sleek and sophisticated with a riveted look, the club will debut some new nights in conjunction with CHANNEL 104.9 and LateNiteBilly. But Gerhardt assures me the changes to the renovated 21+ hot spot are mostly superficial. As spy, the club will continue to indulge its soft spot for local music with Wednesday night's HANDLE BAR. It will also keep hosting the popular '80s Flashback Tuesdays with Cactus Club alum CRAIG YAMATO (voted No. 1 bartender in Silicon Valley by Metro's very astute readers) and appease the South Bay's jiggling dance crowd with hip-hop and house most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
GOOD SAMARITANS: The local jazz community has felt the void left by the passing of A TOUCH OF BRASS' trumpeter JIM ROLLINS. To make matters worse, trumpet player JAMIE GODWIN, also of A Touch of Brass, is battling his own illness. The situation has prompted local musicians to organize a benefit concert to be held Friday (July 19) at the FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH at 800 Ironwood Dr., San Jose. A Touch of Brass and the WEST VALLEY COLLEGE JAZZ ENSEMBLE will perform, with special guests expected to show up. Tickets are $10, and proceeds will be split between Godwin's expenses and Rollins' charities.
HOT TOPIC: Not the Tiki Lounge after all: JACEK ROSICKI is transforming the building that housed the Cactus Club in ZÖE, a Nuevo Latino restaurant and nightclub with live music and DJ dancing. He's also building an adjoining patio space and club called Backbar ... Trying to fill the gap in all-ages shows since the Cactus Club closed, DIVIDED, MY FAT SISTER, NEW BEST FRIEND and CAFFEINE are infiltrating the NOVA ALLIANCA HALL (37 N. 27th St. in San Jose) Friday (July 19). Divided is also breaking the rules by playing next Tuesday (July 23) at SOUTH FIRST BILLIARDS. ... Local bar band SAGE releases its new CD, King of the Avenues, Saturday (July 20) at #1 Broadway in Los Gatos. ... Metro's Music IN THE PARK continues Thursday (July 18), 5-8:15pm at PLAZA DE CESAR CHAVEZ with ROOMFUL OF BLUES.

All right, we broke the Gen II Spec ops stock today. Put a handful of mild handload slugs and 00 buck through it and it felt ok. I said we should shoot the Gen I and the Gen II side by side with my heaviest handload to test them because I really think my Gen I feels better. So I gave my bro a hot slug to shoot and loaded the other one into my 500. He pulled up, shot and it looked like the gun came right out of his hands .the grip came right off and I am not too surprised looking at how much actual meat there is holding the grip on. Apparently there is a recall but he was never notified of anything ..

You will never see that happen with a wood stock.........
"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous" Carl Sagan
12 GA recoil is not all it is lived up to be I shoot an over under with everything from light 8 shot to 3 in. Magnum loads and I'm 6 foot 140 lb. It dose not help that one of the first guns I ever shot was my dads side by side with a metal but plat when i was 10 it kicked like a mule but got use 2 it now that is the secret.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball

Manufacturer: Topco Sales
This personal shaver, designed to eliminate short 'n curlies in places the sun usually does not shine upon, comes with a 16-page booklet titled The Art of Bikini Shaving. An accessory, a brush for cleaning, is included. Dual titanium steel razors " ... shave closely without nicks, cuts or razor burn." Ultra fine heads make it a snap to do detail work that would make auto painters jealous and envious. Lightweight, portable and powered by a single AA battery, it doesn't need creams or lotions. If it vibrated, you would never want to leave the house.

Not too sure if this is the right word for the self-titled tune, but the Ramones recorded a track, 'Pet Semetary,' for this film. In case you forgot where in the movie it can be heard, it's at the end credits if I recall correctly. Can't post a link to the YouTube vid yet, but I'll try soon! Also, the song playing during the truck scene (I can't find out how to add the 'Spoiler' tag, I've been gone long! Help me Ms. Mod! ) is by the Ramones, although I'm not 100% what it was, I think it was 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker.'
We don't currently have a Spoiler button--you have to use the coding to add it. Type the word Spoiler between brackets [ ] and at the end of the spoiler type /spoiler also between brackets [ ].
Apparently Stephen King is a big fan of the Ramones. I guess he picked his favorite song for the scene. Just an assumption on the song.

Ziviani, E., Tao, R.N. and Whitworth, A.J. (2010) Drosophila Parkin requires PINK1 for mitochondrial translocation and ubiquitinates Mitofusin. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America , 107 (11). pp. 5018-5023. ISSN 0027-8424
Full text available as:

Loss of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin causes early onset Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology. Parkin has been linked to multiple cellular processes including protein degradation, mitochondrial homeostasis, and autophagy; however, its precise role in pathogenesis is unclear. Recent evidence suggests that Parkin is recruited to damaged mitochondria, possibly affecting mitochondrial fission and/or fusion, to mediate their autophagic turnover. The precise mechanism of recruitment and the ubiquitination target are unclear. Here we show in Drosophila cells that PINK1 is required to recruit Parkin to dysfunctional mitochondria and promote their degradation. Furthermore, PINK1 and Parkin mediate the ubiquitination of the profusion factor Mfn on the outer surface of mitochondria. Loss of Drosophila PINK1 or parkin causes an increase in Mfn abundance in vivo and concomitant elongation of mitochondria. These findings provide a molecular mechanism by which the PINK1/Parkin pathway affects mitochondrial fission/fusion as suggested by previous genetic interaction studies. We hypothesize that Mfn ubiquitination may provide a mechanism by which terminally damaged mitochondria are labeled and sequestered for degradation by autophagy.

For the latest CW show Renew / Cancel Index news click here.
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts potential renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2010-11 season in May, 2011. (includes results from January 3 - May 1, 2011):
Program | Status | Renew/ Cancel Index | 6 Week Index |
Hellcats | 0.73 | 0.53 | |
Life Unexpected | cancelled | 0.79 | |
Gossip Girl | renewed | 0.88 | 0.88 |
Nikita | 0.90 | 0.85 | |
90210 | renewed | 0.90 | 0.99 |
One Tree Hill | 0.93 | 0.82 | |
Smallville (F) | final season | 1.07 | 1.09 |
Supernatural (F) | renewed | 1.07 | 1.05 |
Vampire Diaries | renewed | 1.51 | 1.43 |
This is the last week for "regular" Renew/Cancel Index posts. Next week Robert and I make our final predictions for every undecided show "Oddsmakers" style, so I figured I'd also look at just the last six weeks of show ratings in a separate short term "6 Week" Index. In many cases it shows us nothing different than the longer term Index (since 1/3/11), but the 6 week Index shows noticeable drops for both Nikita and One Tree Hill, two shows that were both on the bottom end of the "more likely to be renewed than cancelled" range in the long term Index. That plus the fact that they were not among the shows renewed early by the CW puts them both in the "toss up" for renewal or cancellation category.
What was the status of the CW Renew / Cancel Index for the Fall? Click here.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2011
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2011
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2011
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2011
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2011
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
How would the Renew / Cancel Index Have Done Predicting Last Season's Scripted Show Fates? While the methods used have changed slightly from past seasons check out how the Renew / Cancel Index would have predicted renewals and cancellations from the 2009-10 broadcast television season.

World Space Week 2013 Kicks Off This Weekend
[ Watch the Video: World Space Week Begins October 4 ]
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Just because the US government shuts down doesn't mean the world has to, because it looks as though World Space Week will be launching this weekend regardless of what's going on in American politics.
World Space Week will begin Friday, October 4 and continue through October 10. This year's theme, "Exploring Mars, Discovering Earth" is a campaign of networked Mars analog demonstrations to celebrate and illustrate how discoveries on Mars have led to a better understanding of our own planet.
"During World Space Week from 4 to 10 October 2013 we will show you what we are learning about Mars, but also what we are learning about ourselves," organizers of the World Space Week wrote on the event's webpage.
"Mars gives us an opportunity to define from scratch what world we want to live in. How can limited resources on a planet be used to build a new civilization, without depleting these resources? How can we create an environment that supports human life, without destroying critical elements needed to sustain other planetary processes? Learnings that we can apply to other planets, but also to our current planet!"
One of the activities called 'Mission to Mars' will be a four-day simulation of a human Mars expedition at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. This mission will include a six-person crew led by Jon Rask from the Space Biosciences Division at NASA.
Another activity includes rover operations by teams in Chile, Germany, Hungary, Poland and the US. All of the activities will be viewable live online and will help provide opportunities for interaction over the Internet to school groups and museums.
"We are on the brink of an exciting new era and you can be part of it," Gernot Grömer, President of the Austrian Space Forum, said in a statement. "We are honored to take on the task of operating the Mission Control Center, connecting many of the world's premier analog research teams for planetary exploration. This year's Word Space Week will be an impressive showcase of what the solar system exploration community has achieved up to now."
According to the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF), a total of 825 events from all over the world have been registered so far for World Space Week 2013. Last year's World Space Week included 300 events in 40 countries.
"We hope this theme will inspire our event organizers to reach out to schools, universities, astronomy clubs, community centers, space industry events and wherever we can celebrate space," organizers said.

I am looking at the January edition of Voile et Voiliers, a French mag. On the front page you can see a guy sitting in a miniscule sailboat, half hidden by big waves.
The title is 3 Years, 6 meters, 30 000 miles, an incredible solo circum navigation in a dayboat (freely translated).
The boat is really incredible. I am sure that the guy paid for it a fraction of the money you have for a boat. It´s an old, old boat and it is a lake boat.
Another mad guy that was lucky, the vast majority of the readers of this thread would think.
Well, personally I would not disagree, but reading deeper I found out that the guy has a PhD in electronics and is a Sail monitor (course and cruising) with more than 10 000 miles experience.
And being lucky for 30 000 miles and three years is an improbability. A hell of a sailor for sure and a lucky one also.
By the way, this guy was not trying to prove anything, that boat was the best he could find with the money he had.
Bottom point: If you have the manual skills and recover an old boat, probably, if you dont count the hours you are going to spend working, in the end, when you sell it again, in much better shape, you will not lose money and meanwhile you will have been sailing and living on a boat.

Aviary is a New York based startup that wants to power every mobile photo application on the planet. Now, with iOS, Android and Windows Phone under its belt, Aviary is releasing a free stand-alone iOS and Android app of its gorgeous photo editor for three reasons: to show off the editor to developers, to test new tools and features before they hit the SDK and to provide every day consumers with a simple but beautiful photo editor.
That last bit is most interesting to me, as Aviary hasn't been consumer focused since it first released its SDK. It looks like the company is now quietly releasing this editor to test the waters, and if it's successful, we may see a growing consumer push from Aviary.
Users of the app can expect the same features you'd find within any Aviary integrated editor, including resizing, cropping, text, stickers and filters with the addition of the following:
- Scroll through your recent photos in a cover photo-like view from the home screen. (It's way faster and more satisfying than your phone's default gallery view.)
- Adjust settings to customize and rearrange the order of the tools in the editor. If you're a developer, this will help you get a sense for how easy it is to customize our tool list in your app. Or if you just love Aviary's text tool and use it all the time, you can move it to the first page of the editor so you can get to it with just one tap.
Overall this is a relatively simple release that could have a major impact on the company as it continues to grow on mobile devices. Since Aviary has all grown so quickly in solely on the mobile frontier, Aviary could eventually become the go to name for consumer photo editing before Adobe has a chance to fully move its empire beyond the desktop.

Necklaces Page 1
length: 22"
Pendant: 3 x 2"
You ask about The Perils of The Octoball Harvest? Okay, here's the scoop: I get my Octoballs (the round, hollow, spiky bits on the necklace to the left, between the fish) deep in the Marianas Trench. They come in eight-packs. Unfortunately, Octoballs are becoming harder and harder to find, since all I've run across lately are the females (make note to start breeding program in bathtub ASAP.... )
This was exhibited at the Bead Annual, an invitational glass bead exhibit at The Bullseye Connection in Portland, Oregon May 31 – July 22, 2000. Then the next year it won 1st prize for Professional Jewelry Incorporating Lampworked Beads at the Alameda County Fair - pretty good for three fish who never went to School (but they're in a Bass Band, and they're paid union Scale... shall I stop now?)
length: 26"
Blue Moo, You Saw Me Standing Alone, Without a Cud In my Mouth, Without a Bull Of My Own..... Your nice basic Blue Cow necklace, complete with udders, oreos (what ELSE would you put on a cow necklace? The milk is implied - and inside), and the green tangled-filigrana ball is cud, yep, fresh from its sojourn in the Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum and Abomasum (you *did* know cows have 4 stomachs, right? And each one has a name? What do you call YOUR stomach? I call mine Burp... oops, Burt!)
length 40"
Pendant: 4 x 1"
Just thought you'd like to see it! This is the notorious 'dog poop' necklace, made for an exhibit of Contemporary Glass Beadmakers at the Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY in May 1998. I learned how to get a matte, pebbly finish on a bead by dipping it in baking soda then flaming it to death, so I did a couple small bones to test it out and the necklace was born. The little brown filler beads are poops, but most everyone in Corning took em for kibble, thank heavens. This was my 1st ever museum exhibit, and they even put a picture of this in the local paper, whoo hoo! Then when I got home I sent it off to the Alameda County Fair and it won a prize! It was the poops. I just know it was the poops... wiping out all the competition!
length 28"
focal 1.75 x 1.5"
It's kinda hard to see, but there's a little rabid dog hanging onto a big bone in the upper left corner of The Original, above. I just loved that bead, and when it came time to send something to yet another Alameda County Fair I made a couple dogs, a dozen gold-foil floral beads, two collar & bone toggle clasps, a bunch of gold foil fillers and enough femurs to recreate a Jurassic Centipede, and put them together into two of these guys. Linked together they made a nice long impressive necklace, and they won at the fair! FAME! I want to torch forever... I want to learn how to fry... FAME! Cindy Jenkins put one in her new Beads Of Glass book (that one I'll keep!) but the other needs a good home.... it's housebroken.
length 26"
focal 1.75 x 1.25
Just can't stop making those bones! This looks just killer when worn, it's simple and the colors are great and it catches everybody's attention- just what you want with your embellishments! WHY does it catch the attention, you ask? Because it's looking at you, silly... and if something's looking at you, you look back. Wear this and all attention will be focused on your Area de BoobalStructure - unless you're a guy. I could have sold a million of these back in college. The pooch is ivory with tea stain, loopy inset crossed eyes, whisker dots, and an open mouth with big fat pink tongue hanging out. No drool, that's optional. The back of his head is flat so he lays nicely against the above-mentioned BStructure, and the clasp is the usual (but new & improved - it's larger!) studded collar and bone. Not 'arf bad!
pendant 4 x 1"
Down toward the end of 1999 I was in my 'office' flipping thru the adverts at the back of a bead magazine, and got to the 'Call For Entries' section and found a notice from The Dairy Barn Cultural Arts Center for their Bead International 2000 exhibit. I had the beautiful hardback book from their 1998 Bead exhibit, and the only lampwork in the whole thing was a beautiful simple necklace of graduated round cobalt beads by Thalia Tringo. I knew I didn't have much of a chance, but it was the DAIRY BARN, ferheavenssake, and I'd just finished this necklace. So I sent in a slide to entertain the jurors because it was the DAIRY BARN, and darned if they didn't jury it into the show! It was on exhibit for 3 months, and then the show toured a bunch of venues in the U.S. for 2 more years - way cool. And they put it in another big coffee-table book, The Best in Contemporary Beadwork, Published by The Dairy Barn Cultural Arts Center and Coproduced by Beadwork Magazines. The fame... the glory... you may touch my hand. If I ever decide to sell the necklace, I'll toss in a copy of the book, too...

I'll be writing text for this as soon as I can!
length: 16"
focal 1.5 x 1.25"
length 22"
pendant 4 x 3 x 1.25"
The necklace is called 'Flora Lollapalooza' and it's 22" long, with a 4 x 3 x 1.25" pendant. I made the leaves, birds, flower, and toggle clasp using Effetre glass; the green disc filler beads are chrysophrase. The silver findings are Thai Hill Tribe, and I used John Winter's 'T' component to attach the pendant. The pendant is a compound bead - the side leaves and flower were all made separately with the hole going partway thru. I built the base bead with inserts of nichrome wire, and when all the bits came out of the kiln I cleaned them, slid them onto the wire, and bonded them together. Lots of fun doing this - I can get great detail! The leaves at the top and bottom of the pendant have holes going all the way thru, and they're wired on to finish the design (sounds formal, eh? wrote it in case the magazine needed text...)

When Howard Dean did his Confederate flag thing [see story], Edwards got all upset because the Yankee was sneering down his Yankee nose at the South. Edwards said southerners want "someone who treats them with respect."
Slate's William Saletan retorted that when Edwards "seizes on Dean's flag comment to bash Yankees who think they 'know what's best for you,' [he] is asking for the Confederate-flag vote on much creepier grounds than Dean did." Creepy is the operative word for Edwards.
Soon after reprimanding Dean for his elitist remarks to southerners, Edwards was on TV with an ad for his own campaign. According to a report in The Hill, a Washington periodical, the ad "featured Ashley Bell, a Louisiana State University law student. Bell was himself embroiled in controversy last month over allegedly insensitive racial remarks." The paper added: "The student, who is president of the College Democrats of America, called the GOP's gubernatorial candidate in Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, an 'Arab American and the Republicans' token attempt to mend bridges long burnt with the Arab American community.'" The student continued, describing Jindal, the son of Indian immigrants, as Presdient Bush's "Do Boy," i.e., yes man. The Louisiana Democratic party said it was sorry.
This week Edwards hauled out former Joint Chief of Staff chair Hugh Shelton to attack Clark. As everyone knows the military vote in the South is a big deal, and Shelton, along with a lot of other military people, don't like Clark. The way Edwards sees it, if he can just hang in there with a third or fourth in Iowa and New Hampshire, then he's got a decent chance of winning South Carolina.
In September Shelton said that Clark was relieved of his assignment as NATO commander because of "integrity and character issues." He never said what these were.
Then last week Matt Bennett, Clark's communications man, said he was "simply astonished" at Edwards's use of Shelton and "politics-as-usual mudslinging." "General Shelton . . . initiated what has become a smear campaign that the Republicans have gleefully taken up," said Bennett.
Edwards kept the tiff going with a snooty reply directly to Clark: "Whatever your personal views on General Shelton, I'm sure you agree that he is a respected military leader who served our country with distinction." Concluded Edwards: "I will continue to seek his advice," adding, "When I talk to the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it's about the safety and security of our men and women in uniform, not about politics."

Along with Brooklyn Democratic Councilman David Yassky, Gioia has joined a lawsuit to be brought next month by the environmental organization Riverkeeper, seeking to force ExxonMobil to pay penalties to the U.S. government and to clean up the spill, which dates at least as far back as 1950 and is an environmental disaster in which the company has enjoyed relative impunity. "It's caused untold amountsI mean, truly untold because we don't knowof environmental harm, damage to people's property, and very possibly health damage," says Yassky.
Originally estimated at 17 million gallons (six million more than the Exxon Valdez spill), it slouches through the underground loam toward the crumbling bulkheads lining Newtown Creek, between Brooklyn and Queens, where it collects on the seawater surface. It lies beneath industrial, commercial, and residential zones, including more than 100 homes, according to Riverkeeper. Slipshod booms line the Brooklyn side and are sometimes partially submerged or open at one end, allowing oil to flow out into the creek. The foul-smelling crude rises and drops with the tide, blackening the bulkheads up and down.
"The amount of penalty is currently up to $30,000 a day," said Karl Coplan, co-director, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of the Environmental Litigation Clinic at Pace Law School. Coplan will supervise the law students arguing the case for Riverkeeper. The statute of limitations provides for penalties covering only the five years prior to the suit, he says, but "you could easily be talking something like over $50 million in potential penalties." Damage awards and cleanup from the Valdez spill cost Exxon $8.6 billion.
The spill has remained largely out of sight because its seepage is not visible from publicly accessible land. Members of Riverkeeper say they stumbled onto the spill during a 2002 tour of the harbor. ExxonMobil has claimed that it first discovered the spill only in 1978, when its seepage was spotted by the Coast Guard during a routine flyover. The company hasn't revealed the precise circumstances of the original spill, but a 1979 report commissioned by the Guard found that the oil seeping into the creek was mostly likely 30 years old.
That may mean the bulk of the spill was the result of a spectacular explosion in 1950 at a site owned by Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Mobil's predecessor. Petroleum product leaked into sewers and exploded, creating a blast heard a mile away that blew open a reinforced concrete main, shattering hundreds of windows, and hurling 25 manhole covers three stories into the air. Neighborhood residents ran into streets shouting, "Atom bomb!" Decades of sloppy handling on the site progressively contributed to the overall size of the spill.
In 1990, the state's Department of Environmental Conservation and Mobil agreed to a consent decree requiring remediation of the spill. State officials claimed then that Mobil had removed 3 million gallons during a 10-year cleanup. They cited the same figure in 1995, and a company engineer testified in 1997 that Mobil was still in the "initial phases" of cleanup. In 2003, after more than 23 years of cleanup, the company claimed to have recovered well under 5 million gallons.
Riverkeeper views the decree as toothless and notes that it neither extracted any penalties from Mobil nor stipulated an amount of oil to be removed.
Studies indicate that the oil is likely being carried to every corner of New York harbor. More worrisome is the spill's effect on the Brooklyn aquifer. Before 1947, Brooklyn pumped water from wells, and its aquifer was an intended backup in case of drought or the loss of reservoirs. The oil has poisoned the aquifer.

Climate Change Should Have Israelis Perspiring a Little
Climate change poses a danger to almost every nation. Israel is vulnerable -- to the direct effects of climate variations and, particularly, to the political effects of the worldwide use of oil, much of it from the Middle East, which we are burning at mushrooming rates and which is (thanks to carbon dioxide emissions) the biggest factor contributing to global warming and climate change.
According to a 2007 study by Friends of the Earth, "the Middle East [is] the world's most water-stressed region," a condition caused, in part, by global warming. Climate change is a "threat multiplier," because it leads to a series of reactions that can build on each other and become security threats: Water shortages can lead to mass migrations, population displacement, economic and, ultimately, political unrest.
Any factor that decreases regional water supplies reduces Israel's ability to move towards stable relations with its neighbors. Growing conflict over water can fuel calls to arms by militants and nationalists, threatening to engulf Israel in armed conflict. One need only imagine the effects of salt-water intrusion into the coastal aquifer, Gaza's sole source of drinking water, to comprehend the seriousness of the situation. What would you do were you among 1.5 million Gazans lacking sufficient drinking water?
Reut Snir, an Israeli environmental lawyer, cites scientific models that point to imminent effects on Israel of global warming: a 7 percent to 9 percent increase in average temperatures, dangerous to health and likely to increase the use of fuel for air-conditioning, further contributing to global warming; a rise in rainfall in the center and south of Israel, causing floods and erosion, coupled with a 10 percent to 30 percent reduction in average rainfall nationwide, leading to a likely decrease in agricultural yield and profitability; continued draining of the Dead Sea; a 3/8-inch per year rise in sea level along the coast (a foot by 2040), causing erosion and eventual damage to ancient coastal cities, such as Caesarea, which are important sources of tourism revenue.
According to Professor Uri Shani, head of Israel's Water Authority Council, "In the next two or three years, we'll have to learn to swim in empty swimming pools."
The concentration of heat-trapping emissions in the atmosphere is higher today than at any time during the last 650,000 years and almost double the level before the Industrial Revolution. While water usage can be controlled in many ways -- more-sensible irrigation, reuse of treated sewage for agriculture and genuine conservation efforts -- it is clear that only a slowing, then a reversal, of climate warming will add to the overall water supply. Such a reversal is only possible if we wean ourselves from fossil fuels.
The connections between global war-ming, climate change, water supplies, oil and Israel's security are clear. Obviously, Israel would benefit were no nations dependent on Mideast oil. One could hardly imagine a scenario in which America or other Western countries would deal with such intensity -- and obeisance -- with Middle Eastern satraps and dictators were we not afraid of losing oil supplies. The natural affinity we have with Israel -- religious and political -- would trump other Mideast relationships.
Happily, elimination of OPEC's stranglehold over most nations of the world would be a win-win for the environment, international relations and national economies. The only way to reduce dependence on Mideast oil is to reduce use of fossil fuels. That, in turn, would enable us to more-properly fulfill the mitzvah of bal tashchit ("do not destroy"), becoming better stewards of God's creation, and leaving a cleaner and healthier world to our children and grandchildren. Development of alternative fuels would allow more countries to be "energy-independent," reducing the threat of conflict over scarce resources and leveling the economic playing field. Israel and the United States would surely benefit from clean fuel development, since both have substantial R&D infrastructures.
Jews have many reasons to support policies that wean us from fossil fuels, foreign and domestic. Individually we can each take steps to reduce our carbon footprints -- starting with replacing standard bulbs with CFLs, purchasing recycled and non-carbon-based building materials, and buying cars that meet the highest fuel-economy standards. As people who care about America, Israel and the environment, we can do nothing less.
Rabbi George Stern is the executive director of Neighborhood Interfaith Movement.

Tony Perkins, president of the Christian conservative Family Research Council (FRC), said Thursday that advances in gay rights will bring about the "dissolution of the republic."
Perkins made his remarks Thursday, just days after Oregon and Pennsylvania became the latest states to allow gay couples to marry.
(Related: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett says he won't appeal gay marriage ruling.)
Perkins told Janet Mefferd that the debate over marriage is "literally about the entire culture."
"This is about the rule of law, it's about the country, it's about our future. Because we have seen now that it's about redefining the curriculum in our schools, it's about driving a wedge between parent and child, this is about the loss of religious freedom, the inability to be who we are as a people."
"I think what they're doing here, two things, one they are sowing the seeds of the disillusion of our republic, because if once we lose the rule of law, we've lost what holds us together. And I think there's coming a point that they're going to push Christians to a point where they're not going to be pushed anymore and I think we're very quickly coming to that point," Perkins added.
What about Christians who support gay rights? Perkins last week said their views don't count.
(Related: Tony Perkins: "Real religious freedom" does not apply to pro-gay Christians.)

Tell Blue Cross: 'I want to keep my doctor'
If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, you should know the insurer is trying to limit your access to the high-quality, affordable care from the Southcoast doctors you have come to rely on.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts recently walked away from negotiations with New England Quality Care Alliance (NEQCA), which is affiliated with Tufts Medical Center and includes Southcoast Physicians Network, which consists of some 200 physicians with direct affiliation with Southcoast Health System.
The NEQCA physicians, along with Tufts Medical Center and Floating Hospital for Children, have been in good faith negotiations with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts for four months. And we want to get back to the table.
Your local Southcoast Physicians Network physicians provide outstanding patient care at very reasonable prices. Despite this, Blue Cross has refused to reach a fair agreement with your local physicians.
If BCBS will not reach agreement with us by January 17, 2012, they would not allow patients to see Southcoast Physicians Network doctors.
It is important that Blue Cross hear from as many concerned members as possible, so they know how important your doctor is to you. You can call 800-262-2583 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for your support.

The Sixth Angel Poured Out His Vial Upon the Great River Euphrates
Ray Zink
Free to Share
Author requests article critique
This probably shows the destruction of the Muslim power, and of idolatry, and that a way will be made for the return of the Jews. Or, take it for Rome, as mystical Babylon, the name of Babylon being put for Rome, which was meant, but was not then to be directly named. When Rome is destroyed, her river and merchandise must suffer with her. And perhaps a way will be opened for the eastern nations to come into the church of Christ.
(Rev 16:12 KJV) And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
The sixth angel poured out his vial; and observe, where it fell - upon the great river Euphrates.
(Rev 16:12 KJV) And the sixth angel poured his vial on the great river Euphrates,....
Which is not to be understood literally of the river Euphrates, which ran through Mesopotamia and Chaldea, and by the walls of Babylon; and of the drying of it up to make way for the Jews in the eastern parts of the world, to pass into their own land, and possess it; when a like miracle will be wrought for them as was when they came out of Egypt, by dividing the Red sea for them; and as when they entered into Canaan's land, by laying the waters of Jordan on heaps, so that they passed over as on dry land; in favor of which sense the passage
(Isa 11:15 KJV) And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
is thought to be, which the Targum interprets of God's smiting the river Euphrates; though the river Nile in Egypt seems rather to be meant: but it does not appear that there is any number of Jews beyond the river Euphrates; the far greater number of them is in the western and northern parts of the world; so that there will be no need for the drying up of this river for their passage into their own land; nor, if there were any in those parts, can any reason be given why they should be called the kings of the east, who, wherever they are, are a poor contemptible people, and have never had any ensigns of royalty among them for many hundreds of years; nor can that river be thought much to hinder, were all other impediments out of the way, nor the drying of it up much facilitate their passage to Judea, and much less affect their conversion: besides, this vial, as the rest, is a plague on antichrist, in some branch or other, or on some part or other, of the antichristian state; which, if not designed here, is nowhere in the account of this vial, and therefore this must be understood mystically; there is no doubt an allusion to the draining of this river at the taking of Babylon by Cyrus, according as was predicted in prophecy,
(Isa 44:27 KJV) That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
who, making sluices and drains, turned the river another way, and marched through it with his army, and surprised and took the city at once, while Belshazzar and his nobles were indulging themselves in rioting and drunkenness, as Daniel relates,
(Dan 5:1 KJV) Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Now some, because that Babylon was situated upon the river Euphrates, and Rome, or the Romish antichrist, is mystical Babylon, think that is here designed, and is the object of this vial; and that the drying up of this river designs the withdrawing of nations and kingdoms, signified by waters,
(Rev 17:15 KJV) And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
from its jurisdiction and power, which will bring on its ruin; and also the stoppage of dues and tithes, annates, Peter's pence, and of all its traffic in indulgences, pardons, &c. whereby it will be greatly impoverished, and brought to nothing: but it should be observed, that the fifth vial affects Rome, the seat of the beast; and as for the beast himself, he will not be destroyed till the battle of Armageddon; and mystical Babylon, or the antichristian state, in the whole compass of it, will not be destroyed until the pouring out of the seventh vial; wherefore rather the eastern antichrist, the Islamics are meant, in whose dominions this river is; for as the Assyrian monarch is signified by the waters of this river, when he was in his glory, and had his seat at Babylon, by which this river ran,
(Isa 8:7 KJV) Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
so may the Muslims, who inhabit by this river, be intended by it; and the rather, as this sense exactly corresponds with the sixth trumpet; for as the sounding of that trumpet looses the four angels bound in the great river Euphrates, which founded the Turkish empire, as we have seen; so the pouring out of this sixth vial affects the same empire, and brings it to ruin. Mr. Daubuz was of opinion that this plague refers to the depopulation and destruction of the Grecian empire, and the bringing of the Muslims into Europe, who have greatly distressed and tormented the corrupted Christians or Papists.
Some take it literally, for the place where the Muslim power and empire began; and they think this is a prophecy of the destruction of the Islamic monarchy and of idolatry, which they suppose will be effected about the same time with that of the papacy, as another antichrist, and that thereby a way shall be made for the convenience of the Jews, those princes of the east.
Others take it for the river Tiber; for, as Rome is mystical Babylon, Tiber is mystical Euphrates. And when Rome shall be destroyed her river and merchandise must suffer with her.
What did this vial produce? The drying up of the river, which furnished the city with wealth, provisions, and all sorts of accommodations.
(Rev 16:12 KJV) And the water thereof was dried up;
the Ottoman empire is extinct, just as the destruction of the Babylonish monarchy is expressed by the drying up of its sea,
(Jer 51:36 KJV) Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
so the destruction of the Islamic empire is signified by the drying up of the water of this river, which is in the heart of it: and this is the passing away of the second woe,
(Rev 11:14 KJV) The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
A way is hereby prepared for the kings of the east.
(Rev 16:12 KJV) that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared;
which some understand of Christians in general, who are made kings and priests unto God, and of Christian kings in particular, whose way will be prepared, by the declining state of antichrist, to express their hatred to the whore of Rome, and burn her flesh with fire; but the Romish antichrist is not here intended: others think, as before observed, that the Jews are designed; that the Jews will be converted in the last days seems manifest from
(Hos 3:5 KJV) Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
and other places; and that they will return to their own land is suggested in abundance of prophecies, particularly in
(Eze 37:21 KJV) And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
(Amo 9:14 KJV) And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
and it must be allowed that the eastern, as well as the western antichrist, is a stumbling to them; and especially the advantage which the Muslims have gained over the powers that go under the Christian name, and their possession of their land is an hindrance to their return to it; so that the destruction of the Islamic empire will undoubtedly make way for their complete conversion, and restoration to their own land; but then this will be equally advantageous to the Jews in the west as to those in the east, if there be any numbers of them there, which does not appear, and therefore there seems no reason why they should be pointed at, and be called the kings of the east: rather therefore it seems, that, through the fall of the Muslim influence, way will be made for the kings and princes of the east, literally understood, to have and embrace the Gospel of Christ; for, the radical Islamic dominance being destroyed, the Mahometan religion will decline, the Gospel will be carried into the eastern parts of the world, into those vast kingdoms and countries which lie in those parts, when they will become the kingdoms of our Lord, and the kings and princes of them will come to the brightness of Zion's rising; so that the ruin of this monarchy will pave the way for the spread of Christ's kingdom from sea to sea, and front the river, the river Euphrates, to the ends of the earth; and this also will prepare the way, and lead on for all the saints, who are kings, and shall reign with Christ a thousand years, who is said to come from the east,
(Rev 7:2 KJV) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
or from the rising of the sun, as these are said to do, as the words may be rendered, to possess the kingdom under the whole heaven: Philo the Jew has some expressions illustrating the literal sense of this, where he speaks of a Roman army on the banks of Euphrates, which kept the passage of "the eastern kings".
The idolatry of the church of Rome had been a great hindrance both to the conversion of the Jews, who have been long cured of their inclination to idols, and of the Gentiles, who are hardened in their idolatry by seeing that which so much symbolizes with it among those called Christians. It is therefore very probable that the downfall of popery, removing these obstructions, will open a way for both the Jews and other eastern nations to come into the church of Christ. And, if we suppose that Mahomedism shall fall at the same time, there will be still a more open communication between the western and eastern nations, which may facilitate the conversion of the Jews, and of the fulness of the Gentiles.
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be!

These have a bad reputation. Anyone own one and have positive things to say? What are some things to watch out for? I'm aware of the maintenance fees, not much else. I was thinking of getting one for a week or so near resorts that I wouldn't otherwise make it to.

Only good if you want to travel every year somewhere.
Buy them used My parents own two and trade them every year. They pay a lot every year for them but basically end up paying 1000-2000 bucks a ear for 14-20 days at a 5 star place when they choose where they want to go so it pays off in the end. Buy them used in like maui ro some shit and you can trade them anywhere you want. Buy them used buy them used buy them used. If you dont want to travel all the time, don't buy them just look for last minute deals instead. |

I disagree with used. If your a negotiator you can get tons of free shit during the purchase time. We actually do a timeshare presentation each time we are on vacation. It usually covers our rental jeep and a couple of active outings

I've got timeshare points. After the first couple years I was ready to get rid of it. However, after realizing how nice the places we were staying were, I had a change of heart. We usually go on 2 separate vacations a year. I looked up the place we are staying at in Winter Park this coming spring and it would cost $2400 for the week if I didn't use points. My maintenance fee is about $800 so that makes it a good deal for me.
Like everyone else has said, get it cheap and find out the fees ahead of time. You have to use it every year to make it worth it though. You can roll points into next year for a fee, but unless you are trying to rack up points to stay somewhere exotic, it's not worth it to me. It has let us stay in some really nice condos in some cool places that we would have never paid what it cost in cash to stay there. Jason |

Affects your borrowing ability
If you are ever planning on buying a house with a loan or refinancing, check with a lender to see how that time share monthly cost will affect you. $200 a month can be a $40,000 difference in mortgage amount. Many people get student loans, car loan, get a time share, then wonder why they can't get a home loan.
If you make enough money or never plan to buy a home , it doesn't matter. |

1) You need to use them regularly. No point in having 3 weeks worth of timeshares if you only have 2 weeks of vacation. And while you can rent them or sell the points, you'll be lucky to break even doing it. 2) Careful buying older units. I had one that was managed by a hotel. They used the timeshare units to accommodate school trips and such so they got beat up faster. 3) Careful about management changes. One I had got taken over by Hilton Hotels and all the owners got a $40K special assessment to bring them up to Hilton standards. |

That's way more than most timeshares cost to begin with! Was that just a ploy to get people to hand them over? |

Sorry, $40K each unit divided by the number of owners. It was still pretty spicey and pushed it beyond the price of 2 weeks vacation. Basically I had to use my 2 weeks every year for next 5 years to see any cost savings over just buying a vacation package. I probably would have done it but a job change pushed me down to 3 weeks annual vacation. |

Eleven leading tour operators from Denmark visited Belfast recently, to see for themselves some of the new and exciting developments happening in the city for 2012. Carefully selected and invited here by Tourism Ireland in association with Norwegian Airlines, the tour operators' action-packed itinerary was devised by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.
First stop for the Danes was an orientation tour of the city – taking in City Hall, Queen's University and the trendy Cathedral Quarter. The group also had a chance to explore some of Belfast's connections with Titanic. They enjoyed a historical walking tour of Belfast with tour guide Judy Graham, discovering more about the city's Victorian heritage including a stop at the famous Crown Bar.
Monica MacLaverty, Tourism Ireland's manager for Northern Europe, said: "We are delighted to bring these Danish tour operators to Belfast, particularly right now when there are so many exciting things happening in the city. We believe that it is extremely important for influential tour operators like these to come and experience for themselves the high standard and variety of our tourism offering, so they can sell more effectively when they return home and entice greater numbers of visitors from Denmark to come and holiday in Northern Ireland.
"The superb programme of new attractions, events and historic anniversaries taking place in Northern Ireland this year, including the opening of Titanic Belfast next week and the new Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre this summer, presents us with a significant opportunity to deliver a new message to people in Denmark about Northern Ireland and to show them why they should choose to come here. Tourism Ireland's promotions are capitalising on this unprecedented opportunity and are highlighting the strengths of Northern Ireland – iconic experiences, warm, friendly people and value for money."
